Dodge Cars For Sale

Dodge History: John and Horace Dodge opened The Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicle Company in 1914. The brothers got their start making bearings for other manufacturers and designed some parts for Oldsmobile and Ford. By 1914 they owned their own company, producing an upscale version of the Ford Model T. In 1917 they started building trucks for the military, which kept them alive at a time when may others were facing bankruptcy. The Dodge brothers died in 1920 from separate causes and the company was sold in 1925 to Dillon, Read and Company. They in turn sold to the Chrysler Corporation in 1928 and in 1998 it became a part of Daimler-Benz. The classic Dodge name is now owned by the DaimlerChrysler company.
